Opportunity Summary:
The "Investigation/Prosecution of Odometer Fraud" grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would typically work in coordination with the federal agency rather than operating entirely independently. The purpose of the opportunity is tied to supporting enforcement efforts against odometer fraud, specifically by states that already have the legal authority to enforce federal and/or state odometer laws and regulations. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at helping state-level entities investigate and prosecute cases where vehicle odometers have been tampered with or altered to misrepresent a vehicle's true mileage, which can harm consumers, distort vehicle values, and undermine marketplace fairness.
This opportunity was posted as part of a federal requirement connected to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). OMB issued guidance through the Federal Register directing agencies, including NHTSA, to use Grants.gov to electronically publish synopses of funding opportunities for federal financial assistance programs that award discretionary grants and cooperative agreements. In other words, a key feature of the listing is that it reflects the federal government's shift toward centralized, electronic announcement and access through Grants.gov, ensuring that potential applicants can find and retrieve opportunity information in a standardized way.
Eligibility was limited to state governments. More specifically, the activity category explanation clarifies that the intended applicants are states with the authority to enforce odometer-related laws and regulations. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, so states would not be obligated to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award. NHTSA expected to make up to four awards under this announcement.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively small and fixed. The estimated total program funding was $152,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also listed as $152,000, indicating the award amount was set at that level rather than offered as a variable range. The associated CFDA number was 20.614, which corresponds to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Discretionary Safety Grants.
Key dates show the opportunity timeline. The posted date was April 3, 2008, with a creation date of April 7, 2008. The original closing date was April 11, 2008, but the current closing date was extended to May 5, 2008. The archive date was May 11, 2008, reflecting when the opportunity was set to be removed from active listing after the close.
